My name is Dawn. Last year my seven-year-old
daughter and I were forced to apply for TANF for the first time. After just
a few months, I was able to get my previous job back and left TANF.
Thank goodness I was able to get transitional
help with childcare when I left TANF.
Without that help, I don't think I'd
have been able to keep things together on our budget and I could very well
have ended up back on TANF. Knowing that I would be able to pay for my
daughter to go to a safe day care made all the difference.
The help I've received with childcare has
helped me maintain independence and make ends meet. Now I am glad to be off
TANF, love my job as a Head Start Preschool Teacher, and have the security
of knowing that my child is being well cared for while I'm at work.
